Is there a way to get it to show up or have it correlate with the 
console's taskbar? What I'm finding is that if the window has no 
title bar(maximized) and/or behind other windows I have to do 
some window juggling to find it. I need the console for debugging.

I could probably set the project as win32 and then create a 
console manually if necessary but seems to be overkill for 
something relatively basic.
